Scrapping of parts engines

C425 #327 has been scrapped by the D-L.

What's the status of 3603 now?

The short nose of the #3603 is resting in the middle of the yard in Lockport,NY

Not quite... As of a couple weeks ago it was still sitting in the "parts units" line missing many components but not reduced to a pile of steel chunks. The 3603 seems to be the only one that can be considered actually scrapped at this time.

Is this all that is left of her?

probably..
there is no longer any sign of the unit in the Gould industrial park in Depew, where she spent her last few years..
I have a contact at GVT..I will send out an email and ask..
its 97% likely the unit is scrapped, but I will try to confirm it so we know for sure..
(interesting that the nose was kept for some reason..I will ask about that too!)

From GVT,
3603 has been reduced to just the frame..
which is basically the same thing as fully scrapped..

the person I contacted doesn't know anything about the nose in Lockport yard..

I will remove her from the NY Alcos list..

That's odd, I saw the nose there in July.

im sure you did!
and its probably still there..
(next time I am out that way I will swing by and take a look)

Im just saying that the particular person I talked to doesnt know anything about it..
thats all..that doesnt mean its not there!

Scot

As of today its still there

That nose would make a nice back yard tool shed...........painted in Lehigh Valley colors.

I was in the area today and can attest #327 is still there. With a prime mover in place. Possibly for off the ground storage.
